Vote for WordPress in the WebWare 100 – making my life difficult
-
The Cnet Webware sticky window sits on top of the various WordPress.com editing windows right at the point where new text is added so that I just can’t see any text that I am adding.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you collapse the left-hand menu show that just the icons show, then the Cnet bug sticks into the composition window. You can fix it by uncollapsing the menu, but you lose a lot of screen real estate that way.
-
Ah, now I see it. I never collapse the navigation section so it remains out of site entirely.
Contact staff directly and give them the information you just gave. http://support.wordpress.com/contact/

That little button is too much. An ad for CNET suspended over my stats, comments and editing pages? I’m not sure the Support Staff can do anything about it, from what I’ve seen things like this usually get changed because people in the forum tell them it’s a bad idea. But, just in case, this is what I sent to the Support Staff:
“The CNET Webware sticky window you added to the dashboard stats and editing pages is incredibly annoying. I’d like you to remove it so I can continue blogging with the peace of mind I’ve come to expect from a WordPress ad free Dashboard. Thank you.”
-
WordPress has put it there in hopes that everyone will vote for them in the Webware thing. It isn’t an ad for CNET, wordpress wants votes.

Thanks kcrary – I forgot that I had recently discovered the glories of the collapsed left-menu. I guess I can live with an uncollapsed left-menu until Support Staff decide to do something about this.
-
WordPress could have just put out a simple announcement like they usually do, but put the request in a shiny black button with the words CNET Webware and post it on every stats, comments and editing page and it becomes something else.
I just checked my stats and editing pages and the CNET Webware button be gone… so WordPress has totally earned my vote.

It’s there when I… “maximize” the dashboard menu, but when I minimize the menu so it’s just icons the button goes away. Which is much better than how it hung over the pages. It’s still an ad (IMO), but at least I can make it invisible. Maybe I’ll vote twice.
-
WOW – that was quick. Got my precious collapsed left-menu option back in action. Well done WordPress – Open Source Rules!!!
-
I’m happy to vote for WP, in fact if my votes will count, I’ll keep voting.
The button is so discreetly placed on my dash that I had to look for it after reading this thread, otherwise I might not even have noticed it.
